Shall the City Charter be amended to clarify that the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC) is independent of City Council control, allow the ICRC to review City districts after changes to the City’s boundary lines, create voter registration and residency duration exceptions for student members, provide an effective date for the redistricting plan adopted by the ICRC, increase the potential
appointees to the ICRC, clarify the method and timing of filing vacancies on the ICRC, and allow City staff to communicate with the ICRC outside of meeting as long as
Austin's Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission draws the boundaries of Austin’s 10 City Council Districts. Proposition C would clarify that the Commission is independent of the City Council and change some of its procedures. It would allow the Commission to review Council district boundaries when Austin's city boundaries change, change how commissioners are selected and vacancies are filled, establish when new district maps take effect, and clarify how City staff may communicate with commissioners.
A vote FOR would make these changes to the City Charter.
A vote AGAINST would leave the current rules unchanged.
